Rand jewelry replenishment

Has anyone done the Rand jewelry replenishment in travel stores? Is it hard or time consuming?

Yes....
Depends on location, but yes lots of time. Difficult? Not really, but frustrating!
I have one scheduled for tomorrow for $100. It's 20 minutes from my house and I'm already going to the location for another shop and this is pretty much the minimum I would do it for.
I have budgeted over an hour for this shop.
What makes it frustrating? Too many different items?

You are supposed to set it according to a planagram and it basically looks like a tornado hit the display...
So you could spend a REALLY long time organizing.
I have spent as little as 30 minutes and as long as 3 1/2 hours. For the replenishments, its usually not as long as the resets.
That is pretty standard for jewelry displays, I guess you have to be used to that kind of task to not mind it. I work for Kalan (novelty stuff on a giant 4 armed spinner) so I have to straighten hundreds of little items every time I go in.
Well...... i budgeted an hour for this as it was supposed to be replenishment. Nope! It's a full on reset. The person who usually does this location must have known it was coming and sat this one out...
I move fairly quickly, i can do squats all day long... this one made me sweat trying to get it done in time to pick up my kids from school.
Just under 3 hours!!!

I had to bag up the ENTIRE display then reset with all new merchandise. Took almost 150 Ziploc bags to put all the old stuff away.

This company is known to underestimate the time it takes to do a job, but this was by far the worst I've ever encountered.
Oh my gosh. This sounds like a nightmare. I'm on vacation and was going to try it since it's close to us. Not sure that I want to attempt this if I have to take everything off the display.
I did one set up and did a replenishment and like you, I can work pretty quickly. The original set up took about 4 hours. The replenishment took me about an hour or so. This is one project where I'd prefer the material got sent to me at home, so I could get all the rings, bracelets, etc put together in advance - would make it a ton easier. If the store doesn't have a place for you to set up, or its a busy store and you have to work in a small area, you're on your feet the whole time trying to dig through a pack of jewelry to find more rings or necklaces, etc and it's a nightmare.
I am disgusted when the project comes out again and it's at $12 or $15. Sorry not sorry but they KNOW that is way underpaid for this project, if they want it done well.

Replenishment- fish in a barrel.

Most of the resets that are available have probably already been failed before lol. It turns into a giant @#$%& show. They do not give very good instructions(when I did one) which they fixed while I was failing the shop.


They still do not give you a peg guide that’s worth anything. I really think this shop could be EASY with better instructions- The guidelines spend sooo much effort on what to do with the ‘old jewelry’ and which items to move to which pegs. And if you follow that, it will be WRONG according to the planogram for the new items ????????????.

Im going to message them this week and offer to help create a solution for them. Contractors failing this shop makes it more difficult for anyone that follows up and needs to fix it
Good luck, I hope they take your offer.

The one I do in western Nebraska generally takes me about 7 hours in the store. It’s super time consuming so I never take less than $250 for the job.
Didn’t have time to do it this month, so I easily passed on it.
